AIM. 

To make every school in Morgan County as good as the best 
school in Morgan County. 

(To do tills will necessitate the sacrificing of many iiidividiial 
l)refei'ences and prejudices, but it's worth while.) 

RECOMMENDATIONS. 

1 . A consolidation of some of the small one-teacher schools where 

located too close together. 

(The law contemplates four miles as a minimum, and efficiency 
demands as much. A three-teacher school can ordinarily 
render three times as good service to each i)ui)il as a one- 
teacher school.) 

2. A more liberal maintenance to support a longer school year. 

(The children of the rural districts deserve it and the taxable 
l)roperty of the county can w(dl afford it. People ai'e more 
important than pi-o])erty.) 

.1 More attention to the organization and direction of Boys' Corn 
Clubs and Girls' Canning Clubs in co-operation with the De- 
partment of Agriculture. 

(It will [)ay to keep in close and active touch with thest' prac- 
tical educational movements of the National (ioverinnent.) 

Note: Some conditions re{)orted herein will i)rovoke inquiries 
that should be answered by those most immediately concerned, 
such as irregularities of attendnmr at sonn^ of the schools, etc.

How the County Seat Appreciates the County Teachers. 

It is well worthy of iiotf that there exists in Madison, the 
county seat, a Woman "s Civic ("lul) which appreciates the iniral 
school teachers. Tender the h'a(h'rship of its I'l-esident, Airs. K. S. 
Bird, this club lias pi'ovi(hM! and maintains an attractive Kest 
Room at the City Hall ^\•here all the iMiral tea(diei's are welcomed 
when in town. The cluh has also ii-enei-ally enttM-tained the teach- 
ers at huudieon and in other ways on tlu^ days of theii' regular 
monthly teacdiei's' meetings. The citizens enter heai'tily into 
these attentions to the rural school teachei's of their countw 



School Districts"^ 

Location of Schools 




jASPEi 

Morgan County. 

Morgan was among tli. .arliest counties to adopt county- 
wide local taxation; and the entire county, excepting only the 
municipality of Madison, has for 6 years been operated under this 
system. This includes several small towns ami villages with 
good high schools. Compare the progress attained and the rate 
of the local tax levy (two mills) with other counties where the 
district svstem prevails. 

Countv-wide local taxation means not only a more liberal fi- 
nancial maintenance, but also a stronger central unit of admm- 
istration. The degree of school improvement atta.n.d here was 
possible onlv under these conditions, and should he sui^Kunt 
proof to commend the plan to other counties. 



Begiuniiitj' tlic sui-V(\v of tlic public scliools of Morgaii ("ouiity 
the second week in ^May 1 liad only two weeks before their clos- 
ing- dates. Sucli limitation jji't-vcntcd the possibility of any very 
thorough inspection of the work being (U)nc in tlie seliools. Tliis 
survey, therefore, lias to do mainly with the physical conditions 
of the scliools and some other features the investigations of which 
did not necessarily de|)end upon the schools being in session. The 
ending of llie school year, however, did make it possible to in- 
corporate in this i-eport the number of days that each pupil at- 
tended during the whole school year, to which I particularly in- 
vite the close attention of the ])atrons concerned. 

Physical Conditions. 

The photographs given herein do not fully portray the physi- 
cal efficiency attained at these schools, as at some of them many 
things had been accomplished that no picture could fully show, 
while at all of them the greatest improvements were to be seen 
on the inside. Even where they are still occupying old and un- 
suitable buildings their interiors have been made sanitary, com- 
fortable, and beautiful in every instance. Indeed, some of the 
oldest and most unsuitable l)uildings, which are being used 
only until better ones can be built, have been so transformed in- 
side as to afford a most pleasant surju-ise to any casual visitor. 
As for instance in the case of the Walker School, where tem- 
porarily a tenant house in a field is l)eing used, we found the 
wiinlows carefully screened and tastefully curtained; the floors 
well oiled ; the wall well ceiled and hung with intelligently se- 
lected framed pictures and school decorations, such as pennants, 
flags, etc.; single desks of suitable sizes and properly si)aced; 
globes, ma])s, charts, etc.; and a w^dl cared for school garden of 
small dimensions in the yard. 

Neither can any picture show all of the beauties of the well- 
])!anned school gardens, yards, play groumls, sanitary toilets, and 
other improvements accomplished at nearly all of the schools of 
the county, or the manner in which both grounds and buildings 
are kept. In the proportionately large number of school build- 
ings that will measure up to best ideals in school architecture; in 
the sanitary, comfortable, ami attractive manner in which all of 
the grounds and buildings appear to be constantly kept ; in the 
number and sanitary condition of school toilets; in the matter 
of school <'(piipment, and in the nuinbei- ami character of school 



gardens, Morgan County stands in the very forefront. In these 
important respects I have not yet seen any county that quite 
equals it. 

A Model Country School. 

Probably the one school in the county that has accomplished 
the most in all of these respects, and is, therefore, serving its 
community best, is the Bethany School. We do not think it an 
exaggeration to say that a visit to this remarkable rural school 
plant would be worth as much to the average rural school teacher 
as an attendance upon a short session at any good Normal Scliool. 
Any fair report that I can write of this and several other schools 
of the county Avill seem exaggerations to the reader who has 
not seen them. There are, doubtless, as satisfactory conditions 
to be found at many other rural schools in Georgia, but pro])al)ly 
not so many of them in any otlier one county. 

Supervision and Administration. 

The teachers, pui)ils, and }>atrons (h'serve much of the 
credit for these gratifying conditions, but such luiiformly 
good conditions could not liave prevailetl throughout the 
county without strong and intelligent administration. With- 
out a doubt great credit should be accorded to Super- 
intendent E. S. l)ird and Supervisor (J. S. Parrisli. Both 
superintendent and supervisor have worked constantly, i)ersis- 
tently and intelligently with teachers and })atrons for definite 
ends, and have accomplished them. The sui)ervisor has in this 
county attempted far more than the regular monthly institute 
work with the teachers, for she has also visited all of the schools 
of the county with the superintendent, inspecting and directing 
the Avork throughout the county. The superintendent has kept 
up a constant visitation to his schools, devoting his entire time 
and energies to their interests. Teachers, pupils, and patrons 
have generally responded heartily to such active interests in 
their respective schools, and have given proof of their ai^precia- 
tion l)y their active co-operation. 

A Commendable Spirit. 

There is noticeable throughout the county a spirit of loyalty 
and school pride that is most helpful to the cause ; and in each 
respective community proportional to the degree of efficiency at- 
tained in the school plant. This would seem to be l)oth a cause 





and a result, and certainly most gratifying. This shows up 
strongest among the pupils, and is promoting their proper educa- 
tion. 

The beginning of progressive movements for the public schools 
of .Morgan ("ounty ])robabl^' dates back to 1909 wlien the county 
voted " For Local Taxation" foi- the sui)port of her schools. A year 
j)revious to this the county voted "Against Local Taxation," but 
upon the second election, like a number of other counties in the 
State, the measure carried by a safe majority. The school tax 
rate has never been above two mills (the present rate levied), 
and often lower. The county received last year from the State 
>|^1 7.469.87, and the local tax levy adch'd to this, $(),S1().68, nmkiiig 
a total school fund of $24,280.50. This has enabled the Board of 
Education generally to pay off the teachers promptly, and hence 
to secure good teacliers. 

The Teachers. 

With a reasonably liberal iiuuiiteiianci' fund secured through 
county-wide local taxation, and with a reasonably short school 
year, the Board of Education has been enabled to secure good, 
trained teachers for practically all of their schools. 

A careful study of the teaching force of the county syst(Mn 
shows 50 teachers employed, of Avhom one iiolds third grade li- 
cense, three hold second grade license, and forty-six hold first 
grade license. Twenty of these teachers have luul regular train- 
ing at one of the State Normal Schools, while seven others hold 
A. I^. dii)lonuis fi'om standard colleges. Several have had i)0st- 
graduate courses at some of the great universities. With only 
two or three exceptions these teachers have all had two or more 
years" experience. 

Standard Schools. 

It is worthy of si)ecial iu)te that fifteen of the county's schools 
luive been standardized. In this respect P^ulton County only 
stands ahead of Morgan. 

The Braswell Fund. 

Tn 1867, under the will of a Mr. IJraswell, there was left to 
the Ordinary of Morgan County a fund of about ."j^o.OOO.OO, in- 
creased later l)y Mrs. Kolb to about .$8,000.00, to be used for the 
education of indigent or])han children of the county. This fund 
was so wisely invested and nuinaged that it now amounts to al)Out 
$80,000., notwithstanding that it is used to su])ply tuition, l)ooks, 
stationery, etc., for all orphan children of th<' county.

umes and is being increased at the rate of about 100 i)er 
year. Tliese books are well selected.

entli grade through the High School. 

The High School enrollment is 20 per cent of the en- 
tire enrollment of the school.

Athletics: Tlic student body seems very much interested in ath- 
letics. Basket ball, base ball, and track events are the 
main features. The teaching force ap})roi)riates this in- 
terest in the scliool room work. The Madison High School 
course is so arranged as to articulate well Avith the State 
Course as it operates through tlie seventh grade in the rur- 
al school. The si)irit of co-operation between the IMadison 
City Schools and the County System of Public is beautiful. 
What is of interest to the one is felt to be of interest to the 
other.

STANDARD OF EFFIENCY FOR RURAL SCHOOLS 



The following iniiiiinuin standard of efficiency for rural schools arranged 
hy the State School Superintendent has been largely used as the basis of 
measurement in the survey. 

"Educational results and good teaching generally are not often secured 
in a shiftless looking building in which neither patrons, pupils, nor teachers 
take any pride. Indefiniteness has been removed at this point through the 
standard school. In the larger towns and cities pressure of public sentiment 
and the comment of visitors will sooner or later force good educational condi- 
tions — and they are improving constantl.v. Sural Communities need to be 
shown and inspired by educational leaders and we have sent diplomas to more 
than one hundred county schools where the superintendents have certiiied to 
the fact that they have measured up to the standard in every i)articular. 
Fulton, Newton, Morgan and Hancock have received half of these, and there are a 
nnm])er of localities in the State where the feeling is that no rural community 
in the county is able to bring its school up to these very reasonable require- 
ments. 1 cannot help but think that this is a mistaken view and that some 
standard schools could be secured in every county in Georgia and that these 
would serve to inspire the others to progress. Superintendents have written 
tliat the use of this efficiency test has developed more progress in the past 
twelve months than for years previous in the way of improvement. The 
plan is of no value, however, where it is not used or applied and I earnestly 
hope we will have the effort at least of every superintendent in the State to 
have his count.v represented on this roll of honor. The list will be published 
in the next Annual Eeport. The standard is not unreasonably high and no 
more than the Georgia parent has the right to expect, ('opies should l)e 
posted in every county school room in the State and can be secured for this 
purpose at any time on apjdication to the State Department of Education. 
To be entitled to a diploma a school should measure u]> to tlie standard in 
tlie following particulars:" 

I. ' (i. (4i)od Doors with Locks and Keys. 

7. Glean and Well-kept. 
IV.
